Description

Cephaeline Hydrochloride is a high-purity alkaloid salt derived from ipecac root, valued for its potent pharmacological activity. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in pharmaceutical research and development. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors for applications requiring precise biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of emetine and other related therapeutic agents.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a certified standard for quality control and analytical method development in pharmacopeial testing (e.g., USP, EP).
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of protein synthesis inhibition and as a tool compound in cell biology and parasitology research.
• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): A key component in the formulation of expectorant and anti-amoebic medications.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral building block for the preparation of more complex alkaloid derivatives.

Quality Control

Our Cephaeline Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for research and pharmaceutical use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, related substances, and residual solvents are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
